2017 Phillies player review: Hyun Soo Kim

Not because Hyun Soo Kim carries an air of mystery about him, that we know of, but because at the time of his acquisition, the Phillies outfield was comprised of young talent that both the team and the fans were trying to see more of. Finally, it wasn’t just a rebuild - it was building, and the block were in place; everybody was gushing over Nick Williams, Aaron Altherr, and even Odubel Herrera, when he wasn’t violating their own personal code of ethics. Rhys Hoskins was getting outfield time with Tommy Joseph at first base. Michael Saunders was gone, Howie Kendrick was gone, and Daniel Nava was hurt.
